Today’s Broke and Bookish Top Ten list is 10 books you’ve recently added to your TBR – and I’m also including the Bloggers I can blame (er thank) for adding to my TBR!
- The Wife, the Maid and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon – Thanks Sarah’s Book Shelves and look out book club as I am totally picking this one later this year!
- The Long Shadow of Small Ghosts: Murder and Memory in an American City by Laura Tillman
- My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix (I loved his Horrorstor!)
- A Thousand Naked Strangers: A Paramedic’s Wild Ride to the Edge and Back by Kevin Hazzard (Thank you Malcolm Avenue Review)
- Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger
- The Widow by Fiona Barton (Thanks Cleopatra Loves Books!)
- The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House by Kate Anderson Brower
- Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt (Thanks Estella’s Revenge!) – this is in at the library and I am d-y-i-n-g to get there to pick it up. Damn Chicago and our too cold to walk that far weather.
- The Expatriates by Janice Y.K. Lee
- Sarong Party Girls by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan (while not a recommendation from The Paperback Princess, I thank/blame her for setting me down this path! Seriously – read Crazy Rich Asians)
What’s new on your TBR?
Gun In Act One 
The Residence is fabulous! I read it last year and am still talking about it! A Thousand Naked Strangers sounds interesting and I love books like that. I have to add that to my TBR.
Oh good! I will get that on my library list then. I’m glad to pass on the TBR building 🙂
Hooray for Naked Strangers, hope you enjoy it! This is a great list, many are on my wish list, but I am also tied to the library since I hopped on Andi’s #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks challenge. And it’s KILLING ME, because I’m also waiting for Mr. Splitfoot! For some reason that crazypants novel is really high on my list of things I just can’t wait to get my hands on. Hope you get there soon! (Thanks for the shouty, very nice of you).
I am trying to read my own books -without officially joining. I just can’t commit to only my own books 🙂 I hope we both love Mr. Splitfoot!
The thing I like is that it’s a bit of a “make your own” rules “challenge” and library books are allowed. I’m basically using it to try and curb spending on new books and to get to some of the things on my shelf that I really wanted to read but set aside for ARCs. I obviously have commitment issues, too. 🙂 I do, too! Let us know when you get it, if I also get it at around the same time it would be fun to compare notes.
Love the title of this post! I have SO many bloggers to blame for my tbr. 🙂
Yay Mr. Splitfoot! It’s a goodie for sure!
I had The Wife, the Maid and the Mistress out from the library in December and returned it unread! What was I thinking? Guess I need to go back!
I’m not sorry about the Crazy Rich Asians thing at all. I’ve recently discovered that I am a sucker for any fiction that takes place in Asia. I’m FASCINATED by the history and the culture. The Widow was REALLY good. The Residence sounds so interesting! Have you read The President’s Club? Excellent.
Thanks for adding to my own list, jerk.
haha! No problem! I haven’t read The President’s Club – will look it up! As for fiction in Asia, I assume you have the Expatriates on your list then too?
NO. I hadn’t heard of it. Adding it!
yay!
I’m delighted to be blamed for my contribution to the list – I do hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Thanks for the shout-out! I will also be starting Lawhon’s sophomore novel soon! And I keep meaning to add The Residence to my list…and then forgetting. I will sure to actually do it this time!
Recently added, hmm, I can’t remeber
The Residence sounds really interesting, might have to check that one out myself, even though I’m really trying to read more of the books I already have this year 🙂
Holy crap. I totally missed the fact that My Best Friend’s Exorcism is by the same author as Horrorstor. This totally changes my feelings on this book now. Off to NetGalley to see if it is still available!
Awesome. I hope you get it!
I keep seeing The Expatriates pop up! You’ll have to tell me how it is when you read it. 🙂
